Answer:

2.
\displaystyle S\:waves\:are\:also\:called\:secondary\:waves.

1.
\displaystyle Ritcher\:scale

Step-by-step explanation:

2. Seismic waves vibrate from side to side and up and down. They go through solids only, travel slower than Pressure [or Primary] waves, which arrive second, and shake the ground violently.

1. A Ritcher scale senses the magnitude of earthquakes.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
